Why this helps
Event details move quickly across a channel, and another research task can be easy to drop between decisions.
- Retrieve the named city's forecast during event planning.
- Keep location context close to venue and schedule discussion.
- Lower the burden of remembering another planning check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and IQAir AirVisual to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis for one conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language prompt asking Notis to retrieve the city forecast when an event planning message names a location.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with an actual event city.
